Chapter 216: Another Memory Raid

After getting a small note which read 'A drop of blood reveals all' I waited an additional hour, before giving into Malcom's whines and returning home.

Luckily for me, it didn't take nearly two hours before Darius had returned.

And we…got busy.

But after which, we didn't go straight to bed, as we had more time in the day before bedtime, so we finally ate normally tonight after a couple of days.

I sat on the chair beside his, as always.

"How was your day?" Darius asks me, whilst readying himself to take another spoon of his meal.

"It was…awful." I say, every bit of my words being the truth.

"I'm…sorry." He drops his spoon, and takes on a diminished demeanor.

"It wasn't your fault. I'm…much better now." I say with a smile.

He turns to me, and dawns a more spirited expression on his face.

"Good, because The Clawing will be in two days, I wouldn't want you…"

"Wait, two days?" I interrupt, like an idiot.
